Al Dente Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 It’s a sawfish rostral tooth from the Cretaceous sawfish Ischyrhiza Mira. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzviking Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Looks like tooth enamel on the left tip, so I'd say tooth fragment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw shark rostral spines are very similar to teeth. They have a root and an enamel crown. I agree with it being a rostral spine, not a tooth.. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
